...principal object of his salvage operation is the heroine. But he is so worried about the bad in her that he fails to appreciate the good, and she hates him for it. Sick of his tyranny, desperate for affection, she goes off on pathetic tangents of rebelliousness-threatens to undress in public, pawns her schoolbooks to pay for a permanent wave, takes clandestine bus trips to Memphis. "I gotta get chances in this life," she rages, and before long she gets one with a roustabout (Stuart Whitman) in a traveling carnival. He is not a bad young fellow...
...certainty is the more horrible because her family will not believe her story of the crime. They first ignore, then mock her. "Hilary, I hate a liar," says her father. Her wambly, 17-year-old stepsister Janet is too busy with a married schoolmaster to watch over her charge. Auntie Florence, nearly 80, who combs the beach for "anything and everything" and hides her treasure in a cave, is absorbed in herself.

...Beckett, Behrman says, "I did wait for Godot, but I found he had nothing to offer me." Beckett, he adds, avoids a problem by never having Godot enter the scene, and "I imagine that if he did come in he would utter a platitude. I hate wisdom by implication; it smacks of intellectual chicanery." He recalls a course in Croce that he took at Harvard: "He said that you have no ideas until you have expressed them; there is no such thing as having good ideas and not being able to put them into words...
